Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Backs Jon Jones' Legacy, Despite PED Test Issues

[Jab jab boom]

There's no denying that peds can't impact talent, but it does enhance your abilities to utilize your talent effectively whether it be by increasing strength, aide in making lean muscle, enhance stamina. So with that being said, positive tests for guys like Jones, mosley and Canelo has impacted their legacies. Hell, su****ion of ped use has tainted the legacies of guys like pac and holyfield.

Thought all of jon's dirty test were do to ******* and diek pills? If so, Roy is right. He wasn't cheating to get a leg up on someone.

Just his third leg up

I am not a fan of MMA per say but I am a fan of Jon Jones too. Whatever demons he has I hope he has worked hard to overcome them because he is a such a once in a lifetime talent; The likes of which we may never see again.

It's not as if Jones tested positive once and could make an excuse of not knowing. The guy has tested positive 4 times that I know of.

For all his skills (the best in mma since gsp) how much of those are down to his cheating methods?

Birds of a feather flock together..

Let's see why he backs a fellow alumni... balco anyone...


Roy Jones Jr. and Richard Hall both tested positive for the testosterone precursor androstenedione after Jones defeated Hall to retain his undisputed world light heavyweight championship in Indianapolis in 2000. Jones insisted his test was the result of ingesting the supplement Ripped Fuel.

Roy must be on some other type of dope for even saying such a thing. If you are doping and risk hurting someone to have an advantage it should be a crime and the user is a scum bag! Point Blank

Wtf lol. Roy makes 0 sense here. The guy failed what? 3 test? Doesn't affect his legacy? Yes it does. GSP still the GOAT even if I dont like his fighting style.

[g27region]

He says that only because he failed a god damn PED test too. We can't even be sure where Jon Jones raw natural talent is and where it ends. Was PEDs 10% of his success? Or maybe 90%?
